I still don’t get the point of timeless physics. It seems to me like two different ways of looking at the same thing,
like classical configuration space vs relational configuration space.
Sure, it may make more sense to formulate the laws of physics without time, and it may make the equations much simpler, but how exactly does it change your expected observations?
In what ways does a timeless universe differ from a timeful universe?
Also, I don’t think it’s neccessary to study quantum mechanics in order to understand personal identity.
I’ve reached the same conclusions about identity without knowing anything about QM, I feel it’s just simple deductions from materialism.
